Buhari May Not Want Nigeria To Remain One – Umar Hass

L atest trending topic, that 2 of the 3 major tribes are actively clamouring for their own separate nations is in itself a failure for the Buhari administration. What makes it even more pathetic is how the government has made available an enabling environment for such agitations to fester and escalate to a point where we may just be fighting a civil war this October instead of celebrating our 57th independence.
Like i always say,President Buhari’s promise of placing those who voted en masse for him on a higher pedestal than those who didn’t breathed legitimacy into the Biafra and Ijaw nation struggles and as such,he is contributorily culpable of foisting this sad predicament upon us.The yorubas are the latest to join the train.
To take the loudest and perhaps more righteous of the struggles,after more than 31 non-ministerial appointments by this administration,the South-East was still waiting for its first.Add the lopsided appointments,Nnamdi Kanu’s incarceration contrary to court orders and the fact that the Minister of transport still hasn’t appeared before the Senate to defend the non-inclusion of a single South-Eastern state in the proposed rail projects and you have how Buhari justified the agitation for a Biafran state and won more converts for it.
I had planned to write on the need for nigerians to demand updates on the efforts being made by our law enforcement agencies to apprehend Yerima Shettima,the Arewa Youth Council Forum and his gang of hoodlums that issued the satanic ‘Kaduna declaration’ asking ibos resident in the northern states to vacate by October 1st but that was before the Presidency,with utter disregard for the possible consequences of doing such, released an Eid el Fitr audio message by President Buhari in hausa.The sheer insensitivity to the

Ekiti PDP Lawmaker Leads 200 Members To Join APC

A suspended member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon. Gboyega Aribisogan, on Tuesday led 200 other members of the PDP to join the opposition APC. Aribisogan, who represents Ikole Constituency 1 in the assembly, was on October 6 last year suspended by his colleagues for 180 legislative days for allegedly holding meetings with the senator representing Ogun East in the National Assembly, Buruji Kashamu, and others perceived to be “political enemies” of Governor Ayodele Fayose. The lawmaker has since denied the allegation and this is the first time the ruling PDP is losing members since Fayose returned to power in October 2014. Speaking during his defection at Ward 7 in Ikole Local Government Area, Aribisogan said his action was hinged on the division in the state chapter of the PDP which, according to him, made his stay in the party “extremely difficult.” Aribisogan was received by the state APC executive council led by the Deputy Chairman, Mrs. Kemisola Olaleye.
